Seybold Editor's Hot Pick

MathPlayer 2.0 was selected by the editors of The Seybold Report as a Hot Pick for Seybold San Francisco 2004, an important publishing industry trade show.

  Seybold Editors' 2004 Hot Pick "The lack of high-quality support for mathematics in web browsers has been a long-standing sore spot for scientific publishers and researchers," said Mark Walter, Senior Editor, The Seybold Report. "With MathPlayer, Design Science is providing welcome relief to a user community that's struggled for years with this issue."
